Hi guys

Will be buying a new monitor soon (possibly tomorrow, thinking of popping in to the Overclockers store to take a look). Max budget of £800. Upgrading from a 24" 1920x1080 screen.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what I should get for web design/development.

I love the clarity of a 4k screen but I also like the look of these Ultra Wide's eg the new LG 34UC98-W for the desktop space but, as I understand, these won't be as sharp as the 4k's?

Dual monitor setup could be an option.

I won't be using it for gaming.

Cheers!

For any sort of development, I favour as much as real estate as possible by way of multiple monitors. My home setup is 2x24" and 1x27" (24" are oldish 1920x1080 and the 27" is 4K). Depending on what you're going to be developing in, you can easily have a ton of windows open at once that are useful to see without having to switch about (I usually have browser(s) open on one, console on another and then IDE on the third).

For me, its a lot easier to fire a window onto a full screen rather than arranging multiple windows on a large monitor so that's my personal preference! I don't think I could go back to having a single monitor for development, its hard enough at work where I've only got 2!

No suggestions on what monitors to actually get...but I would definitely lean towards getting multiple monitors as I find it makes life so much easier!

Thanks. I think I would be the same re: arranging multiple windows on a large screen. I guess that's just me being used to working full screen!
